 Horites
    cave-men, a race of Troglodytes who dwelt in the limestone caves
    which abounded in Edom. Their ancestor was "Seir," who probably
    gave his name to the district where he lived. They were a branch
    of the Hivites (Gen. 14:6; 36:20-30; 1 Chr. 1:38, 39). They were
    dispossessed by the descendants of Esau, and as a people
    gradually became extinct (Deut. 2:12-22).
